City to Surf (Until Mar 2019)

Perfect balance of adventure and leisure! It’s a shame they won’t be continuing this tour in the format it is currently (driving through the country rather than flying.) It was the only way we would have wanted it and are so glad we had an opportunity to experience it!

Wonderful Service

Incredible experience! Great mixture of guided trips, optional add-ons and free time. Did not leave a stone unturned on Australia's East coast.

Not the best at returning calls but happy with the outcome!

We didn't know where to begin with planning a trip to Australia but we knew we wanted to see a bit of the coast. It was a dream! From exploring the Opera House, to learning to Surf, to Kayaking with dolphins and whales, this trip was great! I've always wanted to get up close to Koala's and Kangaroos so those have been checked off my bucket list. Climbing the Sydney Bridge was on my bucket list as well so not having to coordinate it was so convenient! Jill was absolutely the best trip manager imaginable. She was so helpful with maps and advice and so patient! She made our trip a blast! Fun music for the drive, great ice breakers, and all around a great leader. I'm still laughing at Dracula's and some of the other silly things we saw on the trip! Thank you Contiki for making it sooooooo easy to explore a new Country!
